CK2510 Hydro repacement

[tiogajoe]

Having the sticking pedal issue with my CK2510. It has 139hrs on it. Have tried cleaning and lubing everything with some relief but dealer says he's had a few tractors that he had to replace the HST unit. Anyone else have this done and if so what where your results? I'm concerned that I might have the same problem down the road esp. after the warranty period is up? Has me thinking about going to a gear drive unit?

What exactly is the issue you are experiencing?

What exactly is the issue you are experiencing?

The Tractor will sometimes stay moving....esp in reverse. The pedal is very slow to return to neutral.

My CK 35 hydro is at the dealer getting a new hst unit as we speak. Should be done at the end of the week. I also had the same concerns as you, but decided to chance it.

How many hours on your CK35? It seems to me that a 139hrs (just over 2 years of ownership) is way too soon for a hydro to start acting up. I've had two other very minor issues under warranty that could of happen with any brand of tractor. This hydro issue had me concerned that it may happen again when the tractor is out of warranty. I can see replacing a hydro at a few thousand hours but not this early?

My CK 35 just turned 89 hours when I brought it to the dealership. It made 2 years that I had the tractor on November 1st. I agree with you 100 percent and this shouldn't be happening this soon. When I first bought the tractor, it would only stick a little. It has gotten progressively worse over time. Dealer changed the 2 dampers for the pedal with no luck. The next step was the transmission. Dealer informed me that it was over $6000 dollars to do the job. Lucky for me it was still under warranty.

Do you notice any improvement in performance since having the HST replaced??

Well it's still being installed at the moment. Should have it back by the end of the week.

What did you change at the 50he service? Fluid and filters or just filters?

I changed the fluid and both filters.

Gotya, I just didn't know if that has anything to do with it. What type and brand fluid?

Shell Dontax is recommended by Kioti. Shell replaced it with Shell spirax which is what I used.

I got good news from my dealer. The problem with my tractor was the linkage for the cruise control. I've never even used it? Anyhow he said it was not adjusted properly and was causing the problem with the pedal. He said he also recorded the tractor creeping in forward and reverse for Kioti. He brought my tractor back last evening. The pedal is now much firmer and takes more foot pressure to operate but returns quickly to neutral. The machine now comes to a very quick stop. It will take a little getting used to but I don't see it being a problem.

Well that's good news. I wish that would have been the fix for my tractor as well. That was one of the things that the dealer has checked on mine as well.

Hope it all works out for you in the end?

Good to know. Glad it was a simple fix.
